cold herbs
Most of my herb plants seem to be doing just fine, in spite of the snow. Rosemary:
Lavender:
The Thyme has grown into a wild, bushy thing. Its stems have a reddish hue and the leaves are darker color than the two indoor plants I have in pots. So I think I've answered my own question: thyme likes to grow outside.
Sage:
The Mints are all completely dead-looking but I have faith they'll survive, mint is such a hardy stubborn thing.
My little Oregano is completely covered in snow, and the Parsley plants as well. I feel pretty certain the parsleys will survive, not so sure about the oregano...
I'm sure your mint will survive too! You can't kill it, lol. These are all such beautiful pictures :) Love them!! Thyme does indeed like to be outside. I planted a couple of seeds in a long windowbox and it took over the entire box! I have thyme coming out of my ears!
ReplyDeleteWow. Sounds like you have a lot of thyme. For some reason I thought I could grow it indoors in a pot, but no need, if it lives all winter!
